No new events.
When living seriously (in the chaotic, complex, vague, and useless form of human ignorance), is it necessary to pay attention to any technology? No!
The most terrifying thing for a person is losing their original potential. There are too many states of being that cannot be defined or regulated; if obstructed by anything, it can lead to irreparable consequences.
"Earth. On the Movement of the Earth" "Reviving the divinity polluted by humanity."
"Simone Weil: Beauty and Goodness" "The reason for the temple guarantees its existence in time; but the temple is eternal, that is to say, it is not without purpose, but exists outside of time, above existence. Knowledge of any existing thing does not help us understand the temple, nor does knowledge of abstract fairy tale things—whether concepts or laws—help us understand the temple. The temple does not need anything from the universe; it excludes the universe. If I enter the temple, I will understand better. It is perfect in itself, an absolute in existence; nothing can harm it in any way. It is just there: that is all I can say."
I always think about the mess of technology, spending too much time contemplating the ethics and values of AI, how boring. Is it necessary to pay attention? No! Time does not exist; what can ultimately be left is only the eternity of humanity, speaking with humanity, speaking with beauty, speaking with goodness.
What to say? You can look at the memories of Chai Jing and Cui Yongyuan about Chen Wei:
- Chai Jing, Chen Wei, Cui Yongyuan
- Real. Investigative journalists, professional news people, are self-identification (identity).
- Willing to pay the price for the original intention. What matters most in hiring is only the original intention. I care about the people in the news (Chai Jing).
- At that time, it was the reform of CCTV, changing to a producer system (very similar to today's product managers). Independent thinking, having one's own values, having a personality in expression.
- The most important foundation of independent thinking is feeling; "robot" is the word Chen Wei used most to insult people. You are a robot programmed by input (the implanted historical perspective becomes your premise, a racetrack of others' thoughts). When you treat others as tools, you become a robot.
- "Life is far more complex and profound than we imagine; the journalist's responsibility is to describe this complexity."
- He does not change my viewpoint, only changes me as a person. Do not use your profession as an excuse to violate the basic sincerity of being human.
- What is the problem? What is the reason? What to do?
- "The profundity of life far exceeds our imagination; reality is respecting life, not presupposing a theme."
- Once you delve in, it becomes profound! (Because there are problems inside, focus and curiosity will discover the unique, fighting against time)
- (Common problems bring resonance, bring vibration. From the author's perspective, this is a kind of rooting.)
- The desire for the unknown is the starting point of thinking.
- Do not treat what happens in life as an obstacle, but always study the occurrence itself. Freedom is not stopping in front of obstacles; it is an opportunity.
- Self-media, the greatest freedom, providing information without restrictions.
- (Cui Yongyuan's evaluation of Chai Jing) Not overly sentimental, not excessive, does not jump to conclusions, tries to interview multiple parties to express their viewpoints, steady and heavy, caring for facts, respecting facts, not impulsive. (This is also Uncle Bing's standard.)
- (Chai Jing) Freedom is a test.
- (Chen Wei taught Chai Jing) Doing news should serve, not express. Prepare for freedom. An independent person can manage themselves. The laws of news (or all ultimate laws) must be above organizations and all platforms, and are based on humanity.
- Tell stories with the lens, not relying on language, but on various lenses. (This form of expression indeed has a threshold.)
- (Chen Wei educated Chai Jing) If you love something too much, you lose its true meaning; it is no longer itself but becomes what you impose on it. Media is a public platform, not emphasizing yourself; your desire to enlighten the public—are you really brilliant? The truly impressive thing is when you present a program, the power of the program's structure, the depth of the theme, reaches a level where the reviewer cannot grasp a single sentence from you (this is literature!). Chen Wei's standard of professionalism. The journalist's duty is not to express but to serve. (Feels like a slap in the face to the supervisor.)
- What the audience wants to know but does not know is news. History is also news.
- Steady, stability means providing diverse information, a rich coordinate system; weight means the information you provide is exclusive and of high quality (also Uncle Bing's standard).
- It is not worth discussing who, commenting on who, criticizing who. Compared to the original intention, the flow of worldly affairs is not worth mentioning. (Cui Yongyuan said about Chen Wei.)
- (Chen Wei) "Life should have one more coordinate system, looking from death to life."
Yan Zhir's lens itself, like The Andes Ring, is value, is expression. As Chen Wei said, the basics, form and structure, bring natural power.
Second Master said: He is a human, not a machine. (Referring to parents' attitude towards children.)
